I bought the sum 850080 mech adv, magnetic pick up distributor for my engine. Also bought a "orange" box ECU. I asked a summit tech about the leads on the distributor as they are a different connector than the conversion harness that comes with the orange box. The email I got back said.
The distributor si designed to be used with an after market ignition box such as the MSD or Summit. It's not intended to be used with a factory style Mopar ignition box.
So I'm not sure what he means by this. Does it mean that the connectors won't work, or the distributor won't work.
Please help. Thanks
 
Connector wont work most likely, hard to see why a standard Orange box couldn't fire it off, it's still just 2 wires on the pickup and a reluctor wheel in the distributor, right?
 
yep, got it wired, so we'll see
